On Oct. 22, the Office of the CIO and IT Leadership Group will be hosting our 6th annual One IT Staff Appreciation event We’ve Got Game: Thanks to You (rsvp here). We will join together to celebrate YOU for bringing serious game to everything you do and our collective accomplishments in supporting campus, especially during this pandemic. Since March, we have all been living in very challenging times even beyond COVID-19, with repeated social injustice issues, continued political unrest, wildfires leading to smoke and poor air quality, and more. For your continued dedication and hard work despite these challenges, we thank you. You are all rock stars and have demonstrated incredible examples of collaboration and innovation this past year — our One IT community in action!
Examples of this stellar work shines through with Bruce Lorenzen (IST - Telecom) and Lois Wareham (IT Client Services) being nominated directly by their staff and recognized for their leadership winning the Excellence in Management award. In Research, Teaching and Learning, the Berkeley Online Advising (BOA) project and implementation team received a Sautter Award Honorable Mention for their work that unifies student data from multiple campus services and provides advisors with new tools to access information that supports student success.
This appreciation event as also an opportunity to welcome new staff and celebrate STAR recipients. Below (and during our event on Oct. 22) you can meet the 69 new colleagues who have joined our One IT family since last October. The UC Staff Appreciation and Recognition (STAR) program provides us an opportunity to acknowledge and reward individual employees or teams for their exemplary performance and contributions. This past year, we awarded 97 Achievement Awards, and 229 Spot Awards for a grand total of 326 STAR award recipients throughout campus IT — this is a 44% increase in awards from last year. Please join us in congratulating this year's STAR award recipients hightlighted below for their accomplishments.
This list includes those who are new to One IT from Oct. 1, 2019 to Oct. 1, 2020.

Spot Awards are designed to recognize special contributions, as they occur throughout the year, for a specific project or task and are generally for a special contribution accomplished over a relatively short time period. A Spot Award lets employees know that someone has noticed their noteworthy contribution. At the same time, it recognizes and reinforces the behaviors and values that are important at UC Berkeley.
